Don’t remember the full detail, but please critique my play....

Here’s a summary of my play

1/3 cash game... 240 effective


Villain seems like a TAG player


I am middle position
Hero calls 6 with 2d2s(5 players are in preflop)
Flop 8 10 2 two clubs
Two people bet 15... I raise to 45... one player (Utg + 1) calls ... heads up
Turn is 4 diamonds
Villain checks
I bet 30
Called
Flop is 6 of clubs...
Both check

Villain has flush


I think after the turn I bet way too little... showing a potential flush drawer the river cheaply.... I think I should have bet 90 -100 on the turn so it would be a pot size bet... would doing this have been the optimal strategy?

What about my flop bet? Was raising to 3 bbs a good move...I was mainly betting for value for someone with like ace 10... also inducing flush drawers to call for a bad price

You can probably just shove the turn

30 in pre, 2 x 15 in on the flop before it’s your turn. If you make it 60 here, the first player is still getting 2:1 on a call. That should be the bare minimum.

If you make it 70 and get one call, you have $185 in the pot and $154 behind and an easy turn shove. As played with the small flop raise, there’s $135 in the pot and $189 behind which isn’t ideal but you can still ship or bet at least $90. Even though we usually don’t want to put in half our stack. That’s why it’s so important to set up stacks with your flop raise.

How is first player getting 2:1? Isn’t he betting 30 to get 120 if i bet 60? When calculating pot odds , do we also include the previous 15 he bet?

My apologies, I worded that poorly.

If you make it 60, there’s $120 in the pot. With “first player” I meant the next player to act after you. Since it went to the flop 5 way and one player bet and another one called, there should be two players left to act before it gets back to the initial raiser. Those two players get 2:1 on a call. If they fold and it’s back to the initial bettor, he’s getting $120/$45 = 2.67:1 on a call. As soon as one player calls the $60, everyone else gets a pretty good price but knows that stacks might go in on the turn.

So you raised to 45 on the flop, but then only bet 30 on the turn, when the pot is much bigger? Does not compute.
You could bet a smaller percentage of the pot on the turn, but the absolute amount should almost always be bigger.
Shove the turn.

Yup had a brain fart.... i agree I shoulda shoved
